- On the methodology
“Every Safe Trip Score is computed from public primary sources: the UK FCDO, US State Department, Australian Smartraveller, Canada's travel.gc.ca, Germany's Auswärtiges Amt, France Diplomatie, plus USGS, WHO, CDC, GDACS, WAQI, and UNODC. No single source dominates; the algorithm is published in full at safetripindex.com/methodology.”

A travel-risk index built from primary sources.
Safe Trip publishes a daily 0 to 100 risk score for every major country, computed from official government advisories, agency disease bulletins, real-time seismic and disaster feeds, and standing crime baselines. The full methodology, the source list, and every algorithm change are public. The Weekly Briefing and Field Manual translate the data into editorial that travellers, journalists, and duty-of-care officers can act on.
Safe Trip is independent and self-funded. We do not accept payment to raise or lower a country’s score. The scoring code is auditable; if you spot something off, write to us.
